GPX viewer 2 is my independent app for viewing and following your GPX routes. Carefully crafted for all outdoor enthusiasts – hikers, cyclists, motorcyclists and geocachers – with no ads and no subscription. Import your routes from GPX files (tracks or routes), even if your file contains multiple tracks. Display them on a wide range of base maps (standard, satellite, OpenStreetMap, OpenTopoMap, Swisstopo, IGN…) or on your own custom maps, and download them for offline use. Browse the interactive elevation profile, statistics, points of interest, image galleries, and even an audio guide if your GPX file includes one. Weather conditions at the start of your route are also available. Follow your progress in real time and head out with confidence thanks to the navigation tools: compass, altitude, speed and manual bearing markers. With an Apple Watch, send your routes to your wrist and follow them with your iPhone in your pocket: the track, its direction and its points of interest, in a pared-back interface that stays readable at a glance. The app contains everything you need to go hiking and follow your route. To go further, three Pro levels are available as a one-time purchase – no subscription and no ads. A great way to support the app's development. Thank you!

Tap a parcel on the map: ParcelleTool tells you everything public data knows about it. Before buying land, building or extending, gather in an instant what usually takes five different websites. THE PARCEL • Cadastral reference, area, perimeter and address • Aerial photo and IGN map, with parcel outlines and numbers • The buildings standing on it: footprint, height, floors, dwellings, year • Search by address, town or parcel reference ("Rennes IX 133") • A tool to measure an area or a distance on the map TOWN PLANNING (FRANCE) • The plan in force: PLU, PLUi, communal map or national rules • The parcel's zone and what it allows, in plain words, with a link to its rules • Public easements: historic monuments, risk prevention plans… RISKS (FRANCE) • Flood, clay shrink-swell, radon, earthquake • Natural disasters declared in the town • Ground movements, cavities, polluted soil and industrial sites nearby PRICES (FRANCE) • Real sales around the parcel over five years (official land value records) • Median price per m² of houses and flats • Every sale on the map, filtered by type of property and by year ABROAD TOO The land registers of 15 more countries that publish theirs: Spain, Switzerland, Belgium (Flanders), the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany (11 states), Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Finland, Norway, Australia and Canada (British Columbia). The parcel, its reference, its area and what the country's register publishes. YOUR PARCELS • Save the parcels you are interested in, with your notes • Export a report as a PDF to send to a notary, a bank or a relative FREE, WITH PREMIUM The essentials are free. Two full reports a day are included, one more per video. ParcelleTool Premium (one-time purchase, no subscription) removes ads and unlocks every report, the PDF report and unlimited saved parcels. GOOD TO KNOW ParcelleTool reads public data (IGN, DGFiP, Géoportail de l'Urbanisme, Géorisques and the other countries' land registers) that may be incomplete or out of date. It has no legal value: only the town-planning certificate, the official risk statement, notarial deeds and a boundary survey count. Available in 14 languages.
